A tipping point vintage in the Clare Valley and for some producers a year of Olympic proportions. This wine combines tradition and transformation. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to taste it again, 12 years later. — 6 months ago

Apricot and citrus on the nose. Slightly sweet but well balanced with acidity. Reminded me of a not quite ripe apricot, just with lots more complexity! Lovely. — 3 years ago

Wonderful with Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks to the winemaker Alex Mackenzie for going through the trouble of shipping it to me through US customs. — 6 years ago

Actually not at the level of refinement I expected. Blind it had more of a ripe McLaren Vale character than Clare.
Full body but lacks complexity. — 8 years ago

Star bright yellow gold. Inviting nose of green apple and citrus rind. Medium palate echoes the nose bolstered by firm acidity and adding layers of dried fruit, cement, and white pepper. Remarkably long finish continues the palate. Wonderful example of the citrusy Aussie style of Riesling. Excellent with any "white wine" fare, but pork or seafood dishes are particularly good. Drink now through 2036. — a year ago

Outstanding expression of Riesling, plenty of limes and floral notes, rich palate but still tight, long finish. — 5 years ago

This little beauty was supposed to be held for much longer but due to a poor LUX closure we tucked in earlier than expected and it didn’t disappoint.
Silky smooth, big tropical fruits, the acid supports the 100+gms of RS. — 7 years ago

Really lovely. Full of zest and life. Held a beautiful profile in the palate for absolutely ages (even when we had finished dinner and the bottle and while watching Collingwood. And if there's anything to put a bad taste in your mouth it would be Collingwood Football Club).
I still believe, for my palate, that Watervale/Springvale Grosset Rieslings drink better young, while the Polish Hills are better with age. — 2 years ago

Super solid. Would have guessed Watervale blind. Fresh lime acidity, a whiff of petrol fumes and honeysuckle — 5 years ago

Many of the Wine scribes in Australia are spruiking the 2017 vintage in Australia as superlative for Riesling. This Vickery did not disappoint. Aromas of Musk and Lime. The palate is richer than expected with the pronounced Acid one would expect. A long future ahead. On the basis of this I have ordered a mixed dozen of 3 different Rieslings from 2017 made by Jeffrey Grosset from the Clare Valley. — 7 years ago
